DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figures 1 through 3, the collapsible, portable, multiple use insulated bag with companion detachable insulated bag is shown both in the collapsed state and the expanded for use states.
When collapsed the detachable bag (7) may be conveniently stored inside the main storage compartment (1).
The sides (5) of the main storage compartment (1) are flexible to allow the unit to easily collapse and fold flat, but are resilient enough to keep the bag upright when placed in the open position. The main storage compartment tl) is of sufficient size to assure convenient storage of desired obiects. The main storage compartment (1) is wide enough to assure stability when placed on a surface such as an automobile console. The flexible sides and bottom may be shaped to the available surface or space to provide additional stability. The height may be variabie, but dimensions between several inches to eight inches have been found to be satisfactory. The preferred embodiment is of a height to allow audio compact discs to be stored upright.
The sides (~) and bottom (3) of the main storage compartment (1) are all fixed. The top cover t2) is attached at one end by a hinge ~4) and folds over the storage compartment (1). ~n outer peripheral zipper (20) provides a seal to tightly close the unit to serve as an insulated storage container when desired and when being used paqe 3 as a carrier bag. In other configurations a flap of material used in conjunction with the zipper provides even greater thermal insulation.
A carry handle strap (14) of sufficient size and strength to allow easy carrying of the filled main storage compartment (1) is provided attached at one end ~f the main storage compartment (1). An additional carry handle strap may be added to allow the assembly to be carried horizontally. When carried horizontally the interior lining (33) prevents leakage as all edges at the bottom are permanently sealed. Other embodiments may have a means to attach the main storage compartment (1) to a belt that may be worn by the user when away from the automobile.
~ s part of the top cover (2), a cover attachment means (18) comprising a strip of one side of hook and loop material is provided to attach to a mating strip (19) ~n the bottom of the main storage compartment (1) when the assembly is collapsed flat. The matching strip (19) is made of sufficiently large and firm material to allow the assembly to be held firmly in place when placed on the carpet if the user wishes to place it on the floor of a carpeted automobile.
Referring to figures 2 through 4, the multiple use detachable bag (7) is attached at the end opposite the hinged end of the top cover (2) and any number oE interior compartments may be formed. In the preferred embodiment the companion detachable bag (7) is attached by a plurality of page 4 207797~
attachment strips made of hook and loop material. The companion upper and ~ower detachable bag strips (11,12) of hook and loop material attach to the corresponding upper and lower rectangular bag companion detachable bag attachment strips (16,17). The detachable bag (7) may be of any convenient size that is sufficient to store the desired material. When the detachable bag (7) is attached to the storage compartment (1) the combination provides increased stability.
A hang strap (6) is attached to the detachable bag (7) to attach the detachable bag (7) to any sur~ace that has a mating attachment means. For use in an automobile, a hole is provided on the hang strap -(6) to attach the detachable bag to a door lock latch or convenient ~nob. ~ suction cup that attaches to any flat surface with an attachment means to attach to the hang strap t6) is also available. In the preferred embodiment, two twelve ounce beverage storage can spaces (9) are provided in the detachable bag (7) shown, but the detachable bag (7) may be used to store anything.
Referring to figure 5 a cross secti~n of the sides (5) of the invention are shown. The outside material (30) is heavy duty casing material. ~n interior lining (33) Df easily cleaned water proof material lines the inside to prevent leakage outside the compartments and to allow easy cleaning. Poly vinyl chloride has been suitable material for the interior lining (33). Sandwiched b_tween the interior lining (33) and outside material (3~) is a page S
207797~
reflective barrier (32) and insulating foam (31). Poly ethylene has been found satisfactory for use as insulating foam (31). In combination the materials are both flexible to allow folding and sufficiently rigid to hold their shape once positioned. The insulation effect protects stored items from the effects of outside temperature.
Also in the preferred embodiment, a note pad holding strap (13) is provided on the outside of the top cover (2).
Part of a note pad, usually the firm backing of the pad, may be slipped under the note pad holding strap (13) on the top cover (2) to provide a firm support on which to press while writing. The top cover (2) is comprised of two stiffened material sections to allow the top cover (2) to bend easily near the center when collapsing the detachable bag (7) yet remain firm as a writing surface when expanded. The note pad holding strap (13) may be of elastic material. On an alternative embodiment a loop to hold a pencil or pen is also provided.
